改革文学与现实主义题材的深化与重构——以周梅森《人民的名义》《人民的财产》为例证的思考

Reflections on Deepening and Reconstructing of Reform Literature and Realistic Themes——Taking Zhou Meisen’s in theName of the People andThe Property of the Peopleas Examples

被誉为“中国政治小说第一人”的周梅森,创作了两部堪称其代表作的现实主义题材长篇小说《人民的名义》《人民的财产》。两部长篇小说均是在反映现实生活与社会生活里兼具“疼痛”与“光芒”的那些现实问题层面,显示出作家与作品在现实主义题材深化方面的能力与造诣。对早期改革小说“情感路线”“官场小说化”“寻根路线”三个方面皆有继承更有创新与发展,显示出改革文学的深化与重构的意义维度。在叙事探索与人物塑造新变方面,也成绩斐然,多条线索齐头并进的繁复的“块茎状”叙事结构,正面人物、反面人物、小人物塑造得皆立体生动、栩栩如生,体现出现实主义题材与宏大叙事新的生长点以及重构深化的意义维度。

Zhou Meisen, known as “the first person in Chinese political novels”, created two realistic novels called his representative works, In The Name of the People and The property of People. Both novels reflect the realistic problems with both “pain” and “radiance” in real and social life. They also show the ability and attainments of writers and works in deepening realistic themes. The two books inherit and develop the “emotional route”, “officialdom novels” and “root seeking route” of early reform novels. The inheritance and development of the above three points show the dimensions of significance of deepening and reconstruction of reform literature. It has also made remarkable achievements in narrative exploration and new changes in characterization. The complex “tuber” narrative structure with multiple clues goes step by step. The protagonist, antagonist and cipher in the novels are all round and vivid, reflecting the new vitality of realistic themes and grand narration and the significance of reconstruction and deepening.
